История
Арка... Удивительный мир, созданный мудрыми древними, которых с почтением прозвали творцами. Многие годы они оберегали планету и помогали её обитателям. Однако ничто не может длиться вечно. Никто не знает почему, но тысячу лет назад благородные творцы покинули своё детище. А с их исчезновением народы Арки погрязли в бесконечных распрях и борьбе за территории. Над планетой заполыхало пламя войны.Самыми выносливыми и приспособленными к войнам оказались люди. Именно они были основой большинства армий, становились лучшими полководцами, возглавляли успешные походы. Государства под их руководством процветали и захватывали наиболее благодатные земли.
Но даже отточенное веками военное ремесло и опыт бесконечных битв не помогли защитить родной мир от вторжения извне. Новая сила, казалось, появилась из ниоткуда. Не объявляя войны, не называя своих мотивов, молчаливые легионы безликих просто сметали целые государства на своём пути. И когда жители Арки разуверились в своих силах и возможности хоть что-то изменить…

stoodip rng, no skills required.
All the criticisms aimed at this game are mostly justified. Nonetheless, it IS cute, and, while the randomness of the summoning can mean the difference between winning and losing, it is a fun way to while away a few minutes.
Others have described how random the battles are with outcomes being more about luck than the actual skills that you build. You can easily wipe out one opponent at x level and then get stuck in an endless cycle of losing when you meet that same opponent again. I spent two hours trying to beat a level 16 that I handily beat in a previous match. I am currently level 21. Furthermore, as you progress, the battles get longer and longer. Despite the fact I am probably somewhere about midway through the game, each major battle is taking somewhere between 15-20 minutes. Hence, when you lose, it quite sucks. Not to mention that every time you lose, you have to battle "mirror" you--another tedious battle that takes around five minutes, but one you are at least guaranteed to win. And, you have to win the battle with your mirror before you can reface the opponent you lost to. I didn't rage quit this game after two hours of fighting the same battle over and over, but more like extreme annoyed quit.
Furthermore, some of the main reasons that I love rpg games are because of the stories and also exploration. I think there was a story, but it's so thin that I don't remember what it was, and there is no exploration. You just move from battle to battle in a sparse overworld and that's about it.
You what'd be fun? A tactical RPG where 2/3rds of your actions are randomly chosen for you!
Sorry, this game looks like a lot of effort was put into it and if you don't mind the heavy element of chance in the fight it could be fun, but it really isn't for me.
Wow, I'm impressed by how thoroughly not fun this combat system is.
It feels like every time something goes wrong, you try to come up with a plan for how to get yourself out of this hole, and then the system is so random that you don't actually have any power to do that whatsoever, so your only hope to win is a super lucky roll that will carry the day.
The way the system works is that each character takes 3 actions for the turn. One you choose, two more randomly chosen based on the one you picked. If all 3 are the same, you get to go again. The ammount of randomness this induces just makes the game miserable- Need to keep that squishy mage alive? Tough Shit, the best you can do is make the odds *slightly* in your favor, but not really, since all the summons have two chances to attack before your next move, so even if things go perfectly, it's probably dead anyways.
Oh, and story. The story was boring enough that I was skipping lines before the intro cutscene was over.
Don't waste your time.
Heroes of Arca might be the biggest dissapointment I've ever experienced on Steam. It is not a bad game per se, but has some flaws which sucked the enjoyment out of it for me personally.
My biggest concern is that while the game seems to offer different choices when it comes to allocating your skillpoints, only one approach is feasible (i.e. investing points into your minions). Even the developer himself admits that successfully finishing the first area can already be a challenge if one skilled "wrong": "unforturnaly, it will be a realy hard to defeat Master without creatures of level 5". If you skilled "wrong" you are stuck with grinding exp to make up for that mistake, making the game very repetitive because you'll end up losing most fights and always have to fight a copy of yourself then, too. On the one hand this allows for quicker collection of EXP, on the other hand it becomes boring pretty fast. Moreover, the effect of chance (or RNG) seems just to powerful - even if you do great for 80% of the fight, lucky rolls from your opponent can turn the tides of battle extremely quickly. Due to these points, the combat, which is the focus of the game, is just not fun if you took the "wrong" approach to skilling.
The graphics are also a bit dull (they look quite nice in the preview on Steam, but scaled up they lose fidelity), which is unfortunate because the hand-drawn sequences are very nice.
I cannot say much about the story because I was unable to progess very far due to the aforementioned imbalance, and the game was just not fun enough for me to start over or attempt to grind more EXP. What little I saw of it was nothing of out the ordinary, but the story is certainly not meant to be the focus of this game anyway.
It is also unfortunate that the information provided in the game is a bit lackluster, because the developer wrote a guide for Heroes of Arca which provides some information which could avoid frustrations such as mine if one read it before starting the game.
Because having a fun beginning is important for long-time motivation in a game and the factor of RNG seems to dominant for a tactical game I do not recommend the game in its current state.
TL;DR: Game is okay if you know that you should spent all your points into your minions on the first island and don't mind losing battles due to unlucky RNG; otherwise it can be frustrating.
Took me 16 hours to finish the game in its current state. It's a simple challenging game that can be played casually.
Pro:
_ Original battle concept.
_ Skill points allow you to focus your gameplay matching your style preference.
_ Nice graphics (adapted to the kind of game)
Cons:
_ Lack of monsters and summons variety.
_ Having wrongly skilled your hero is quite unforgiving, it's better to reset the game and start all over.
_ Luck almost always prevails over strategy, which is my biggest negative point. Even with the right skill points allocation, right strategy, you will not win if you don't have a minimum of luck, which can be seriously frustrating at times.
The biggest changes I would like to see in the future are probably:
_ Possibility to respec the skill points.
_ Reducing the impact of luck in the battle, which currently makes things go very random, and that's just not fun. (Note that I say reducing, not remove totally)
Really enjoying this game. Looks good. Runs well. Now after update it's worth every penny.
Amazing story, I love this combat mechanics. And I would love to see more different heroes and creatures in the future.
I really do enjoy this game. It's pretty simple to understand, but offers enough strategy combined with luck to make it entertaining. Everything is cool, keep it up.Just add new types of heroes and spells.
Heroes Of Arca is a game genres of RPG And Turn-Based strategy.
The game is very beautiful and done wonderfully.
A touching, fairy tale story about the adventures of a young girl.
I really enjoy the turn-based battles and the different ways you can use your troops.
It takes a while to really get into as it's a fairly difficult game, but once you do, it's really something else. If you're craving tactical strategy with a hint of RPG, this is definitely your game.
This game is really quite charming - cute colorful graphics, nice animations - but also fairly challenging.
Just be forewarned. But still a fantastic game. Highly, highly recommended if you like tactical stuff.
I don't normally play this sort of game but as i was in need of something to play i gave it a try, And very happy i did, It's a little like a Board game with very simply controls so simple that you only need a Mouse and 1 hand, On the map screen click on a bad guy and then enter battle mode which is just like an old school Turn Based RPG, again simple to understand control over the battle, just click on icons at the bottom of the screen and that's where the strategy comes into play, don't think you can just click the same icon over and over to win that will not work.
You have the normal RPG type elements, E.G. Experience Points, Skill Points, Item's to improve skills, etc.
You don't die when beaten in battle, You retrun to the map screen and a ghost version of yourself appears which is called your "Twin" ingame, you then have to beat your Twin to continue your quest which also helps with leveling up your player.
All in All this game is simple to play but hard to master and if you like this sort of game then give it a go.
Works great on Manjaro Linux:)
